I am still listening to An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon, the latest in her Outlander series. I'm 10 or 12 hours into the 46 total hours. I'm loving it still. I could spend hours with Jamie and Claire (and have!).

Gabaldon has many plot lines going, and I'm enjoying catching up with all the characters. At some point, I'll probably switch to reading in print so that I can speed to the end.

The Tea. I'm drinking Adagio Tea's chocolate chai. A very, very yummy tea: "Chocolate flavored Ceylon black tea blended with cardamom, ginger, cloves, cinnamon. Make it extra rich by preparing with hot milk." I haven't tried it with the milk yet, but even black it makes a wonderful afternoon treat.

The Assessment. As I said last week, Claire is British and Jamie is Scottish, so I know they like their tea. Even though Claire has seen the twentieth century, I'm not sure what she'd think of this tea. Jamie would probably be baffled. On the other hand, some tea is probably better than no tea.

What's on your reading list this week? And what's in that mug or glass?

Thursday Tea is hosted by Anastasia at Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog. Here's how it works: Tell us what tea you are drinking (and if you like it). And then tell us what book are you reading (and if you like it). Finally, tell us if they go together.

Thanks for stopping by. I read all comments and may respond here, via e-mail, or on your blog. I visit everyone who comments, but not necessarily right away.
